October Celebrations & Events on Pinterest

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Have you missed me? I sure have missed you "guys" too. Not to worry, I'll be playing catch-up real soon. I do have my reasons... However, I will only tell you about the FUN project I've been working on. It's a Surprise Party! You see, not only does the month of October have a pantry full of food celebrations, it also happens to be my Blogoversary!

I hemmed and hawed for weeks trying to think of something special to do on my blogoversary. I didn't want to have another Pizza Party. Although fun, I'm not much of a pizza aficionado, myself. Then, one day when I was on a cookbook shopping binge, yes, every once in a while, I stock my library with more up to date food related books, I realized that October also happens to be Cookbook Month. "Self" I said, "Why not have a Cookbook Party, and surprise visitors with games and gifts?" So, that's what I'm going to do, AND, you're all invited!!! I still have a few details to work out, but, I can give you a list of clues, so you'll be all ready when I make the "official" announcement on Sunday.

October is...

Apple Month

(You may want to brush up on the apple varieties I posted for Johnny Appleseed Day; check out the recipe links too:)

So, there you have it, a list of October's monthly celebrations. We haven't even nibbled at the daily celebrations but don't you worry about that:) I guess you could say we'll be celebrating October with cookbooks...and recipes of course! See ya Sunday!

I've always been terrible at keeping a secret when it comes to cookbooks. So, these are the books which I will be giving away. One each week for the month of October. If it isn't October 31, 2011 yet, you still have time to join!

The Cider Cake alone is worth a visit. Oh no, don't be silly, I didn't actually bake it. The recipe comes from the Southern Heritage Cookbook. And, if you thought Week One had some unique and delicious entries, Week Two has even more!

Well, I'm looking forward to the cookbook party. I certainly have the creds (and the stuffed bookshelves) for that event! Cranberry Month in October, eh? I guess there's only so much you can squeeze into November. And, I'm all a twitter about American Cheese Month. Think of the possibilities!

Just what we need a Cookbook month! So much to celebrate this month. Should I go buy a new book to help celebrate your blogoversary? Will be back on Sunday to find out more about your party...Very excited!!!Rita
